25/* XXX This is currently a very weak abstraction.  We would like to
26 * much expand this to allow things like breakpoints on SDT probes and
27 * such.
28 *
29 * In particular, we would like to add a tracepoint abstraction.
30 * Tracepoint is a traceable feature--e.g. an exact address, a DWARF
31 * symbol, an ELF symbol, a PLT entry, or an SDT probe.  Tracepoints
32 * are named and the user can configure which of them he wants to
33 * enable.  Realized tracepoints enable breakpoints, which are a
34 * low-level realization of high-level tracepoint.
35 *
36 * Tracepoints are provided by the main binary as well as by any
37 * opened libraries: every time an ELF file is mapped into the address
38 * space, a new set of tracepoints is extracted, and filtered
39 * according to user settings.  Those tracepoints that are left are
40 * then realized, and the tracing starts.
41 *
42 * A scheme like this would take care of gradually introducing
43 * breakpoints when the library is mapped, and therefore ready, and
44 * would avoid certain hacks.  For example on PPC64, we don't actually
45 * add breakpoints to PLT.  Instead, we read the PLT (which contains
46 * addresses, not code), to figure out where to put the breakpoints.
47 * In prelinked code, that address is non-zero, and points to an
48 * address that's not yet mapped.  ptrace then fails when we try to
49 * add the breakpoint.
50 *
51 * Ideally, return breakpoints would be just a special kind of
52 * tracepoint that has attached some magic.  Or a feature of a
53 * tracepoint.  Service breakpoints like the handling of dlopen would
54 * be a low-level breakpoint, likely without tracepoint attached.
55 *
56 * So that's for sometimes.
